How does one enter opening balances, *per customer* or *per vendor*?
So far that we’ve figured out, the only method is to enter a payment assigned
to Equity:Opening Balances.
While this does accomplish the intended result, it is neither obvious or easily
discoverable when first moving to GnuCas
Derek,
I could be mistaken, but I think the OP was referencing that they were moving
*to* GnuCash from another system where they were already tracking the
historical invoices.
GnuCash doesn’t have an official way to enter info for existing business
transactions like it does simple opening bala

I can see it being offered for ease of use, but I agree, it should be either
editable from that dialog or maybe at least a tool-tip offered explaining to

Certainly, this is a usability bug.

I believe you, but I must say that that was very far from obvious to
this new user. I couldn't understand why the Account dialog d

That admonition is true for the special AR/AP accounts used by the Business
Features.
Technically you *can* make manual entries there, but the various Business
functions won’t be cognizant of them and if you aren’t careful you might forget
you made them manually and then wonder later why report
That would likely work, but then you can’t use the business features.
Everything has to be manual.
The ‘one Accounts Receivable account’ is what the Business Features uses.
And you can certainly easily report by customer using it. There are reports
specifically built to work that way.

misinterpreting you, because I think that would make it a lot harder
down the road to run reports by customer. I'll assume you have one
account for each customer, all un

Delete the opening balance transaction to get you back to zero.
Then two options:
1. Create a single invoice with the balance forward and post it as of the
original ‘opening balance’ date.
2. If the balance forward is from multiple invoices, import them into GnuCash,

Hi All
My financial year started on 1st March 2019. My customer at that stage,
owed 67,765.23.
I tried to seed this amount in my Equity:Opening Balances account with
the corresponding account being Assets:Accounts Receivable. This seemed
